Manufacturing support services

The manufacturing support services market in Gauteng is a substantial one, with about R47 million being spent by government departments. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, which could indicate that it's becoming increasingly competitive. With 99 suppliers already catering to 7 different departments, it's a crowded space, and to stand out, your organisation would need to have a strong value proposition, particularly if you're a black-owned, women-owned, or youth-owned business, as these groups are allocated a significant portion of the spend, with black-owned businesses receiving about 41% of the allocation. The fact that women-owned and youth-owned businesses receive about 11% and 6% of the allocation respectively also presents opportunities for these groups. If I were you, I'd focus on developing a robust B-BBEE level to increase your chances of securing government contracts in this market.
